Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Michigan | TIER 1- the clear best teams in the country. Undefeated all with quality wins |
2 | Kansas | Virtual tie between kansas and michigan. Michigan has looked better but Kansas has better preseason rank and quality win |
3 | Virginia | Virginia and Nevada also are very close, virginia getting the edge because of their better second best win. |
4 | Nevada | |
5 | Tennessee | Tier 2- All have high quality wins, only loss coming to a top 5 team (at the time) |
6 | Gonzaga | All three of these teams are similar resume wise. I gave this order because of h2h record. |
7 | Duke | |
8 | Auburn | TIER 3 |
9 | Texas A&M | Neither t3 team had a great week, but they both didn't lose |
10 | Buffalo | Tier 4- none of these teams should be as high as they are |
11 | Michigan State | Again 11-16 is a major crapshoot. |
12 | North Carolina | |
13 | Wisconsin | |
14 | St. John's | |
15 | Florida State | |
16 | Arizona State | |
17 | Marquette | Tier 5 |
18 | Virginia Tech | |
19 | Villanova | |
20 | Ohio State | |
21 | Houston | Tier 6 |
22 | Mississippi State | |
23 | Oklahoma | |
24 | Indiana | |
25 | Cincinnati |
